Recovery - Day 28

Thursday 16th Mar 2006

Felt better today having taken some medication last night and spending a fun evening watching various cup matches on the telly, so decided that I'd make the step back to work after missing out on Wednesday's meeting. Only did a half day, so as to avoid the rush hour in the morning. It didn't start too well as the moment I stepped out of the flat I was frozen and had forgotten to bring a brolly. Then halfway down the road I realised I'd forgotten my wallet so I had to turn around and climb back into the flat to get it (and an extra jumper and previously mentioned brolly). This isn't a major problem usually - just annoying, but when you have to walk slower than normal in the freezing cold it almost made me give up. Anyway, made it to work by about 1:45 and was given a really warm welcome by my colleagues which was great. They'd even saved me a cookie from the meeting yesterday, which I unfortunately and uncharacteristically had to decline. Had a good chat about the scar and the op and even pointed them to the blog - so hi guys!

The positive thing from today is that the leak which had been dripping slowly into the flat through a light fitting in the hall for about a week was isolated and resolved. So that's one less thing to worry about. It never looked major but could have easily got worse and it was a good job it wasn't a really obscure pipe under the floor.

I even got my appetite back in the afternoon and had my first full meal in the evening. Only time will tell whether I'm over this bug!

Got down the pub again tonight. No insights of deep knowledge but did get to see Rosie who I haven't seen in ages - word up girl.

Need to find some more photos for this blog or maybe I should experiment with colour. Your thoughts are welcomed!
